Oh that is interesting … imagine how much darker still it could have been if it had been Le Carré’s idea though instead of Ian Flemming !
So I went for The Bird’s Nest. I’m not sure if it’s typical holiday beach reading but it sounds awesome to me.

And secondly , thank you for inspiring my holiday reading today with this episode . I’ve just downloaded a Shirly Jackson audiobook for my holiday journey next week (but not The Lottery to avoid reliving the Landlady trauma !)Thanks both for another great episode, I’m
so looking forward to Torquay!

I’m so late catching up with this episode but I have two comments .. One : ARGH!!! The Landlady !! I had completely buried the trauma of reading this on a plane on my own years ago somewhere in my subconscious and forgetten all about this … it was so scary !

I’m happy to join this bandwagon , I really like @zackpolanski.bsky.social too ! 💚

Why have I never thought deeply about this lovely pairing before ?! Great episode of The Swinging Christies ❤️

Expensive and unreliable train journeys are sadly the norm for many of my constituents - cancellations are disruptive for all of us, but especially disabled people who often have to plan their journeys very carefully. I raised the issue in a debate this morning.

🤦🏻‍♀️ markie and I were just saying how much we admire your and Zack and Zoe’s professionalism in these circumstances 💚

Where to start unpicking the Tory stance on this one ….. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Green councillors call for ceasefire in Gaza Green councillors in Bristol have called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and for the UK to end its arms trade with Israel.

“The scale and suffering of the people of Gaza is incomprehensible ... This motion is to show that collectively as a council and as a city, there are tangible actions we can take to address the ongoing genocide in Gaza” – Green councillor @shonajemphrey.bsky.social, who has put forward the motion ⤵️

Haha nice to see @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social write up how @sianberry.bsky.social and Farage had rather different responses from a hall full of A-Level students www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/far...

Oh yes ! I have been putting off sorting out the drawer of doom in the kitchen , can’t wait !

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. Fixing the social care crisis Elected Greens will push for: - Investment of £20bn per year - Free personal care to ensure dignity in old age and for disabled people - Increased pay rates and a career structure for carers to rebuild the care workforce Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

The crisis in social care is clear for everyone to see.

Patients, carers and staff are hurting now. We don't need to wait years for a report to confirm what we already know. The Government must act now.

Here's what the Green Party would do to fix the social care crisis:

Just emerged from a week of the flu and treated myself to listening to the Xmas episode while cleaning the leftover Xmas food out of the fridge 😂 this very much improved this task, thank you both for this lovely episode and happy new year!

There has been a small situation with the Xmas Eve sausage rolls …

Continuing the ban on puberty blockers is a worrying decision.

Solidarity with our trans & non-binary siblings today.
Wes Streeting has just made it so much harder to be a trans person.
Puberty blockers are a small but vital part of care for some trans people. We should not let a culture war determine healthcare!
#TransRightsAreHumanRights

I share concerns of experts at the Council of Europe that removing access to #PubertyBlockers except through clinical trials may breach “fundamental ethical principles governing research”, amounting to coercion and a breach of young people's human rights. I asked Wes Streeting about this today... 🧵

Well said @zackpolanski.bsky.social

The @greenparty.org.uk will always stand with people's right to self identity; and oppose discrimination of trans people and all marginalized communities 💚

This is utterly outrageous !
